MASCADA is the name of our yearbooks as that was the name that the founders of the MSA yearbook came up with, many people's first question when reading that is what does it stand for and the answer is not super clear but it stands for Math and Science Academy in a roundabout way. MA - Math, SC - Science, ADA - Academy.
Yearbook has been a part of MSA from it's founding, the yearbook has changed since that first school year and has formed a more uniform layout we use but yearbook being done by the students remains the same as it was the 1999-2000 school year, though yearbook has been changed from a club to a class after a very difficult year when there was only 4 editors working on the entire yearbook and something had to be done.
A big part of yearbook that has carried through to the class is the leadership, also known as the editors, the editors have changed in name and role over the past few years but this year we have a lead editor, associate editor, photo editor, and text editor that will make up our leadership of the class along with the teacher Ms. O'keefe and Mr. Cowles. Most of the staff biographies were written as class assignments about another yearbook staff member or editor this year.
